PALESTINIAN NO NO SONG (revised version)

With apologies in advance to the deceased Hoyt Axton and any of his family, friends or fans.


A woman that I know just came from Gaza City.
She smiled because I did not understand.
Then she held out some big rocks, uh huh.
She said they were the finest in the land.
And I said, "No no no no, I don't throw them no more.
I'm tired of being shot to the floor.
No thank you, please, it only makes the Jews peeved.
And we can never ever win a war."
A man I know just came to me from Saudi Arabia, Oh.
He smiled because I did not understand.
Then he held out some M15 bullets, oh ho!
He said they were the finest in the land.
And I said, "No no no no, I don't shoot Jews no more.
I'm tired of being shot to the floor.
No thank you, please, it only makes the Jews peeved.
And we can never ever win a war."
A woman that I know just came from Baghdad, Iraq
She smiled because I did not understand.
Then she held out a 10 pound suicide belt.
She said it was the finest in the land.
And I said, "No no no no, I don't explode no more.
I'm tired of blowing up on the floor.
No thank you, please, it only makes the Jews peeved.
And we can never ever win a war."

I wonder if Ringo will record this too. His looks have been compared to Arafat.
It might be a good comeback song.
